    Apparently shot by a man impersonating a police officer.

    This is quite shocking.

    Horrible.

    Not so incredible, when you consider the deep divide that has been orchestrated in the country and the hatred against any non-MAGAs that has been ginned up. Every day, rightwing media, twitter, etc dish up a heaping bowl of mind poison. Add that to guns in the hands of mentally unstable people.

    Very sad what it has come to.

    A neighbor stopped by and gave us the news of the latest Minneapolis shootings, as we have been so submerged in post-tornado damage construction cleanup that we haven’t read or seen any news.

    This neighbor, being a serious trump supporter, framed the tragedy not as the result of a mentally ill person able to get weapons, but as the result of a transgender person confused about own sexuality.

    We have plunged headfirst down the rabbit hole.

Thank you for the support!
